The Bilateral Scientific and Technological Cooperation between Greece and Germany 2024 is the third round of a joint Research and Innovation programme co-funded by Greece's General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) under the NSRF 2021-2027 'Competitiveness' Programme and Germany's Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). The action targets the green hydrogen value chain, with an accompanying scientific project focused on knowledge and technology transfer between research organisations and enterprises in the two countries. The Greek-side budget is EUR 4,000,000, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and national resources.

Eligible applicants on the Greek side must form a joint Greek-German consortium combining at least one research organisation or academic institution and one enterprise from each country. Each partner must hold Greek or German legal domicile and operations respectively. Standard NSRF 2021-2027 state-aid rules apply. The call operates as a hard-topic instrument: proposals addressing subject matter outside the green hydrogen value chain are out of scope and will not be evaluated. Award amounts per project were not published in the English call summary; the Greek-language call documentation governs binding eligibility and budgeting conditions.

Electronic submission opened 27 June 2024 at 13:00 and closed 24 July 2024 at 15:00 local Athens time. The call has since closed. Greek participants submitted their proposals in Greek via the NSRF managing authority platforms; the English-language GSRI webpage was informational only. The Greek-side contact address for information was Germany@gsrt.gr and infoepan@mou.gr. Applicants to future rounds should note that this bilateral programme has now been executed three times, signalling an established co-funding relationship between GSRI and BMBF that is likely to produce further periodic calls on Greek-German R&I priorities.
